There was a Diamond Drug Store in Hamilton, Ohio in the late 1890s.
You being 'next door' in Indiana, might have one or their tokens.

[treblehunter]

Tokens are the best! Yours is very nice, what did those other finds read?

 

[Indiana_Brandon]

Thank you I do love finding those tokens!! The other finds signals we're all really good the bottle cap with the W pegged at 82 the red and white came in a scratchy 73-75 (thought it was zink) the tag shapped I team was a solid 77 I still need to hit it with electrolysis to see if u can pull something off it.

Personally, I would stop there on cleaning. It is all readable and there is a nice patina.

As far as where it is from, that is another question. There were several Dimond Drug Stores around the country. I've been looking for one in Indiana or nearby, but haven't found one yet.

I'd suggest posting it on TokenCatalog.com where more eyes will see it.
